[net.news] Zero-length items & More

wmartin@brl-tgr.ARPA (Will Martin ) (10/16/84)

It appears that more and more items are showing up with the "Lines:" field
set to "0", but which have a number of lines of content. The causes for
this have been discussed during the past month or so, and I don't want
to re-start that particular discussion. However, I have noticed a bad
effect of this phenomenon. When you come across one of these "false-zero-
length" postings while reading news, and give a C-R to read it, it is not
handed off to "More" to handle the screen-length pausing; it is just 
displayed in an unstopping stream. Can this be fixed without affecting
the way normal items are handled?
